Frankfurt Book Fair
The Frankfurt Book Fair (FBF) is the largest book fair IN THE WORLD. Held each year in October, international publishers from dozens of countries travel to Germany to attend this important rights event, hoping to find new titles from independent presses to add to their future publishing lists.
In its seventy-seventh year, the FBF promises to be another key publishing event, touted as “a crossroads where people and culture meet.”
Foreword will be working with the Independent Book Publishers Association to showcase titles via the IBPA booth at the fair. They bring 25 years of experience and a list of more than 600 rights connections, giving their represented titles access to a wide range of sales opportunities to countries including Spain, Korea, France, Italy, Holland, Germany, China, and Russia.
How to Register
$225 per title.
Deadline for registration is September 3, 2025
